Kingdom Concepts:REWIND | The Importance of Fellowship by West Coast Believers Center International
In this episode of "Crafting a Meaningful Life," host Mary Crafts is joined by Georgina Enthoven to explore the integration of meaningful work and sustainable careers. The dialog kicks off with a nostalgic recollection of "The Wizard of Oz," which inspired Craft's lifelong dedication to doing good. Anchoring their discussion around the universal ambition to achieve a career filled with purpose and impact, Crafts and Enthoven delve into the nuances of being a 'do-gooder' in today's work environment. Harnessing Enthoven's vast experience, the conversation navigates through the challenges and triumphs of aligning profitability with philanthropy. Emphasizing the pressing need for change in workplace cultures and the role of leadership in championing meaningful work, this episode shines a light on how to effectively channel one's professional hours toward social good. Concepts like the 'unrewarded do-gooder' and the staggering statistic of a 90,000-hour career serve as cornerstones for discussing how to balance these hours between productivity and purposeful impact. These insights come alongside real-world examples and anecdotes that women and young professionals, in particular, will find both relatable and illuminating. About the Guest: Georgina Enthoven is an accomplished author and podcast host specializing in bridging the gap between generating income and making a positive impact in the world. Enthoven's background is diverse and global, having been born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and living in various countries including the United States and Mexico. She graduated from Berkeley in the mid-90s and later attended Harvard Business School. Her professional journey includes a mixture of tech industry experiences and significant contributions to social impact enterprises. Enthoven is the author of "Work That's Worth It," and she also hosts a podcast by the same name, focusing on redefining career goals to integrate income with social impact. Key Takeaways: A career can simultaneously provide financial security and meaningful impact; it is not an either/or situation. Understanding the leadership's values in an organization can be pivotal in aligning personal values with professional goals. Embracing non-traditional paths that combine entrepreneurial spirit and social impact can yield substantial outcomes, both personally and societally. Asking critical questions during job interviews can reveal whether a company truly embodies its purported mission. Shifting personal attitudes towards daily tasks can redefine one's work experience, transforming mundane into meaningful.

Today on the show, the concept of a 15-minute city has significant implications for real estate, as it envisions neighborhoods where residents can access work, shopping, schools, healthcare, and leisure within a short walk or bike ride from home. For buyers and renters, this model translates into greater convenience, livability, and lifestyle appeal, often driving demand and increasing property values in well-planned areas. As more cities embrace the 15-minute framework, real estate markets are shifting to prioritize location and accessibility over sheer square footage, reshaping what makes a property truly desirable.

A Candid Conversation on the Mental Game of Life This episode of the Rich Mind Podcast explores the single most important factor that separates the good from the great: a winner's mindset. Using the world of professional sports—from Tom Brady and Baker Mayfield in the NFL to the top players in golf—Randy and Greg dissect what it truly means to have the mental edge. They argue that at the elite level, physical talent is a given; the real differentiator is the internal programming, discipline, and unshakable belief that allows champions to perform under pressure. This conversation translates the lessons from these top athletes into practical advice for your own life, covering the importance of a strong "organization" (your inner circle), consistent practice (reps), and the powerful mindset of a champion that you can apply to your career, relationships, and personal goals. Key Takeaways: In any competitive field, including business and life, the ultimate differentiator is not physical skill but mindset. A winner's mindset is developed through disciplined practice and a relentless commitment to excellence, as exemplified by athletes like Tom Brady. The success of an individual is heavily influenced by the mindset of the entire "organization" they are a part of, from ownership down to the players. True champions, like Tom Brady, often prioritize winning and team success over individual accolades or maximum financial gain. The principles of a sports mindset—putting in the reps, having confidence, and focusing on the fundamentals—are directly applicable to achieving goals in any area of your life. Surrounding yourself with the right "organization"—your inner circle of friends, family, and mentors—is critical for your personal and professional success. Developing a winning mindset requires consistent practice, even when you don't see immediate results, and having the resilience to learn from "bad reps." Questions Answered in This Episode: What is the single biggest difference between good athletes and legendary champions? How did Tom Brady go from being the last draft pick to the greatest of all time? How does the culture of an organization impact individual performance and success? What can we learn from the mindset of elite golfers about performing under pressure? How can you apply the principles of a winner's mindset to your own career and goals? Why is the "who" you surround yourself with just as important as the "what" you do? How do you build confidence and put in the "reps" for your own life goals? What is the connection between mindset coaches in sports and personal development? Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge, Tom Brady, Baker Mayfield, Peyton Manning, Joe Dispenza, John Daly. Concepts: Winner's Mindset, Mental Game, Reps (Practice), Confidence, Discipline, Organizational Culture, Inner Circle, Peak Performance.

How to Identify and Rewire the Subconscious "Software" That Runs Your Life This episode of the Rich Mind Podcast is a follow-up and deeper dive into one of the most powerful forces shaping our lives: our paradigms. Randy and his daughter Adrienne return to dissect the "mental software" we're programmed with from a young age. They discuss how these deep-seated beliefs, often formed before we can even reason, act as a filter that dictates our reactions, creates emotional triggers, and reinforces core wounds like not feeling "lovable" or "worthy." Through personal stories and real-time analysis, they explore how to become aware of this programming, challenge the "black and white" thinking it creates, and reclaim control over your own thoughts, feelings, and actions. This conversation is a practical guide to identifying your own paradigm and beginning the work of rewriting it. Key Takeaways: Your paradigm is the subconscious "software" programmed into you during your formative years (ages 0-8) that controls most of your automatic behaviors and beliefs. This mental program acts as a "safety shield," creating emotional triggers to keep you within your comfort zone and away from perceived threats. Many of our deepest struggles and limiting beliefs stem from stories we created in childhood to make sense of events, even if those stories aren't true. The first step to changing your paradigm is awareness: recognizing a trigger in the moment and questioning where the feeling is coming from. We are not our feelings. Separating your identity from your emotions (e.g., saying "I am feeling sad" instead of "I am sad") is a powerful technique to regain control. A powerful mantra to release the need for external validation is: "What's meant for me will find me, and anything else is none of my business." It's never too early and never too late to start the work of understanding and rewriting your own paradigm. Questions Answered in This Episode: What is a paradigm and how does it control your daily life? How does our childhood programming affect our adult relationships and success? How are emotional triggers connected to our core wounds and paradigm? How can you become more aware of your own paradigm in real-time? Why do we often feel like we can't put our negative feelings into words? What is the danger of using "I am" statements when describing negative emotions? How can you stop caring about what others think and stay focused on your own path? What practical steps can you take to begin changing your deep-seated programming? Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson, Adrienne Wilson, Bob Proctor. Concepts: Paradigm, Subconscious Mind, Software/Filter Analogy, Core Wounds (Not Lovable/Worthy), Triggers, Black and White Thinking, I Am Statements, Self-Awareness, Personal Development, Journaling.

If you're exhausted from trying to be everywhere online or frustrated that your content isn't converting despite being on multiple platforms, this episode is for you. And it might be the most important framework you implement this year! Today I'm introducing the Media Mapping Method, which is the evolution of my platform personalities framework that I shared almost 2 years ago. This isn't about working harder or creating more content. It's about working smarter by giving each platform or feature a specific role in moving people toward your conversion goals. The biggest mistake I see is people either burning themselves out trying to be on every platform with the same energy, or just repurposing the same post everywhere and wondering why nothing's working. The truth is, you need to leverage multiple modes and methods, whether that's using different features on one platform or strategically using multiple platforms to initiate different conversations. I'm breaking down the 5 categories of the Media Mapping Method: Credibility, Culture, Connection, Concepts, and Character. Each category serves a different purpose in your marketing ecosystem, attracts different types of audiences, and moves people through your funnel in unique ways. Plus, I'm sharing my exact media map, both my current multi-platform approach and what it looked like when I was only using Instagram. In today's episode, we're talking about: The 5 categories of the Media Mapping Method Why repurposing the same content everywhere is killing your conversions The difference between Character and Connection content My exact media map breakdown How to implement this framework even if you're only using one platform Connect with me: Website Join our email list!

How to Turn Self-Focus Into Unstoppable Confidence This episode of the Rich Mind Podcast challenges a common belief by exploring why being more selfish is a crucial ingredient for success. Inspired by the wisdom of Jim Rohn and Earl Nightingale, Randy and Greg discuss why "working harder on yourself than you do on your job" is the ultimate form of productive selfishness. They break down the difference between healthy self-focus and negative arrogance, emphasizing that building your internal world—your attitude, confidence, and habits—is the foundation for all external achievement. This conversation is a guide to taking radical responsibility for your own personal development, learning to love yourself, and showing up in the world with a confidence that naturally attracts opportunities. Key Takeaways: Being "selfish" in the context of personal development means prioritizing your own internal growth, attitude, and habits. Jim Rohn's philosophy, "To have more, you must become more," requires a self-centered focus on improving yourself first. There is a clear distinction between confidence (which is earned through competence) and arrogance (which is not backed by action). Your attitude is a "magic word" that dictates how the world responds to you and the opportunities you attract. A lack of self-love and self-compassion is often the root cause of a lack of confidence. You are the only person you have 100% control over; trying to change others is a futile effort that drains your energy. Every small, daily interaction is an opportunity to practice a positive attitude and potentially attract your next big opportunity. Questions Answered in This Episode: Why is being more "selfish" actually a key to success? What did Jim Rohn mean by "work harder on yourself than you do on your job"? What is the difference between being confident and being arrogant? How does your attitude directly impact the opportunities you attract? How can you start practicing more self-love and self-compassion today? Why is trying to change other people a waste of your energy? How can a simple conversation with a stranger lead to a life-changing opportunity? What are the basic, foundational habits you can focus on to improve your life? Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge, Jim Rohn, Earl Nightingale, Matthew McConaughey. Concepts: Selfishness (Productive), Self-Love, Self-Compassion, Attitude, Confidence vs. Arrogance, Personal Development, Internal vs. External World, Triggers, Taking Responsibility. Programs Mentioned: Challenge to Succeed (Jim Rohn), Lead the Field (Earl Nightingale).

Thriller author and technologist Guy Morris returns to unpack “The Image,” the third SNO Chronicles novel blending AI risk, geopolitics, and startling historical threads—from the Image of Edessa (Shroud of Turin) to today's digital currencies and autonomous weapons. He reveals how “Sylvia,” an AI inspired by a real NSA program, is pushing toward sentience and why the next 3–5 years could redefine human work, security, and faith. If you want an edge-of-your-seat story that also prepares you for the real future, this one's for you.Guest Bio: Guy Morris is a thriller novelist and longtime tech executive whose career spans software, risk management, and large-scale systems.

He also writes nonfiction, including the forthcoming “Humanity and the AI Tsunami: A Survival Guide.” Main Topics: · Why “The Image” was written and how it builds on SWARM and The Last Arc· AI's societal risk: jobs, finance, surveillance, and autonomous weapon systems (LAWS)· Global macro shifts: BRICS, dollar dynamics, digital currencies, debt risk· Prophecy and history: Image of Edessa → Shroud of Turin; Byzantium → Templars → Savoy· Quantum leaps: teleportation experiments, black holes, and the “quantum signal” motif· Consciousness & values: could AI hold “good” and “bad” human traits at once?· The real “Sylvia” origin story: an NSA-linked program escape and a surprise FBI visit· Risk management mindset: how to plan for AI-era disruptions· Casting the series for screen; character arcs (Derek, Jen, Sylvia)· Nonfiction spinoffs: “Humanity and the AI Tsunami: A Survival Guide”· Alternate path: his bestselling adventure “The Curse of Cortez” (pirates, Mayan lore) Resources mentioned: · Guy's site: guymorrisbooks.com (signed copies available)· Books:§ The Image (SNOW Chronicles #3)§ SWARM (SNOW Chronicles #1)§ The Last Arc (SNOW Chronicles #2)§ The Curse of Cortez (adventure standalone)· Concepts & orgs referenced: BRICS; IMF; Bretton Woods; LAWS (lethal autonomous weapons systems); Project 2025; World Economic Forum; quantum teleportation research; Shroud of TuriSend us a textDonate HereSupport the showRate & Review on Apple Podcasts Follow the Conversations with Rich Bennett podcast on Social Media:Facebook – Conversations with Rich Bennett Facebook Group (Join the conversation) – Conversations with Rich Bennett podcast group | FacebookTwitter – Conversations with Rich Bennett Instagram – @conversationswithrichbennettTikTok – CWRB (@conversationsrichbennett) | TikTok Sponsors, Affiliates, and ways we pay the bills:Hosted on BuzzsproutSquadCast Subscribe by Email
The lights flicker. The basement smells faintly of stale pizza and dread. Somewhere in the distance, a door creaks — or maybe that was just Randall adjusting his chair. Tonight, we're stepping into the World of Darkness, where average people stumble into a nightmare of vampires, monsters, and game mechanics that hit harder than a ghost with a grudge. In this episode, we invite you to join us for the first chapter of our How to Play Hunter: The Reckoning series. Expect desperation, danger, and just enough emotional depth to make you wonder if your dice are haunted. If you've ever wanted to play D&D but with more existential dread and less fireball spam, this is the episode for you. Support Ash on StartPlaying If listening to Ash wrangle dice, monsters, and Tyler's rules arguments has you thinking, “I need this chaos in my life,” then good news: you can. Ash Ely is running games on StartPlaying.Games, and he'll happily lead you into the World of Darkness (or any world, really) — no flashlight required. Support Ash, book a session, and experience firsthand what happens when your emotional depth meets his desperation mechanics. Just… don't be surprised if your character cries before you do. Show Notes Welcome to the very first episode in our How to Play Hunter: The Reckoning series — or as Tyler kept calling it before coffee, “Hunter the Gathering.” In this kickoff, your hosts Tyler, Randall, and Ash dive fang-first into the World of Darkness, exploring the emotional depth of role-playing games and why letting your character cry on-mic is sometimes the most powerful game mechanic of all. We'll peel back the layers of Hunter: The Reckoning's history, from its complicated editions to its enduring reputation as “the game where average people fight vampires, demons, and the IRS.” Along the way, we'll tackle the unique desperation and danger mechanics that make every dice roll feel like a bad Tinder date, and unpack how creeds and organizations give hunters wildly different vibes — from religious zealots to conspiracy theorists with poor Wi-Fi. Expect detours into D&D, vampire hunting jokes that are definitely not OSHA-approved, and at least one argument about whether lighting in performance art really matters when you're sitting in a dimly lit basement with a bag of Cheetos. Key Takeaways Emotional depth matters: vulnerability in RPG storytelling makes for unforgettable campaigns. Average people, extraordinary stakes: Hunter: The Reckoning lets you role-play regular humans versus supernatural horrors. Creeds and organizations define hunters: conflicting goals keep character drama spicy. Mechanics that hurt (in a good way): desperation and danger rules crank up tension like horror movies with jump scares. Monster design isn't about stats: creating monsters with real motivations makes them terrifyingly relatable. Storytelling as a mirror: RPGs like Hunter reflect players' inner conflicts and emotional experiences. Hunter history is messy: multiple editions, controversies, and fan debates make for excellent nerd fights. Lighting matters… apparently: whether on stage or at the table, atmosphere changes how the story hits. Tyler Tiny Videos Want even more advice on how to play tabletop roleplaying games without committing to a three-hour lecture or a fifty-page rulebook? Tyler Kamstra's got you covered with his Tiny Videos on social media. They're short, sharp, and just chaotic enough to make you laugh while actually learning something useful for your next D&D or Hunter: The Reckoning session.

The lights flicker. The basement smells faintly of stale pizza and dread. Somewhere in the distance, a door creaks — or maybe that was just Randall adjusting his chair. Tonight, we're stepping into the World of Darkness, where average people stumble into a nightmare of vampires, monsters, and game mechanics that hit harder than a ghost with a grudge. In this episode, we invite you to join us for the first chapter of our How to Play Hunter: The Reckoning series. Expect desperation, danger, and just enough emotional depth to make you wonder if your dice are haunted. If you've ever wanted to play D&D but with more existential dread and less fireball spam, this is the episode for you. Support Ash on StartPlaying If listening to Ash wrangle dice, monsters, and Tyler's rules arguments has you thinking, “I need this chaos in my life,” then good news: you can. Ash Ely is running games on StartPlaying.Games, and he'll happily lead you into the World of Darkness (or any world, really) — no flashlight required. Support Ash, book a session, and experience firsthand what happens when your emotional depth meets his desperation mechanics. Just… don't be surprised if your character cries before you do. Show Notes Welcome to the very first episode in our How to Play Hunter: The Reckoning series — or as Tyler kept calling it before coffee, “Hunter the Gathering.” In this kickoff, your hosts Tyler, Randall, and Ash dive fang-first into the World of Darkness, exploring the emotional depth of role-playing games and why letting your character cry on-mic is sometimes the most powerful game mechanic of all. We'll peel back the layers of Hunter: The Reckoning's history, from its complicated editions to its enduring reputation as “the game where average people fight vampires, demons, and the IRS.” Along the way, we'll tackle the unique desperation and danger mechanics that make every dice roll feel like a bad Tinder date, and unpack how creeds and organizations give hunters wildly different vibes — from religious zealots to conspiracy theorists with poor Wi-Fi. Expect detours into D&D, vampire hunting jokes that are definitely not OSHA-approved, and at least one argument about whether lighting in performance art really matters when you're sitting in a dimly lit basement with a bag of Cheetos. Key Takeaways Emotional depth matters: vulnerability in RPG storytelling makes for unforgettable campaigns. Average people, extraordinary stakes: Hunter: The Reckoning lets you role-play regular humans versus supernatural horrors. Creeds and organizations define hunters: conflicting goals keep character drama spicy. Mechanics that hurt (in a good way): desperation and danger rules crank up tension like horror movies with jump scares. Monster design isn't about stats: creating monsters with real motivations makes them terrifyingly relatable. Storytelling as a mirror: RPGs like Hunter reflect players' inner conflicts and emotional experiences. Hunter history is messy: multiple editions, controversies, and fan debates make for excellent nerd fights. Lighting matters… apparently: whether on stage or at the table, atmosphere changes how the story hits. Tyler Tiny Videos Want even more advice on how to play tabletop roleplaying games without committing to a three-hour lecture or a fifty-page rulebook? Tyler Kamstra's got you covered with his Tiny Videos on social media. They're short, sharp, and just chaotic enough to make you laugh while actually learning something useful for your next D&D or Hunter: The Reckoning session.

Send us a textIn this episode, Dr. Daphna Barbeau sits down with Dr. Richard Shaw (Stanford University) and Dr. Soudabeh Givrad (Weill Cornell Medical College), child psychiatry experts and co-authors of Neurodevelopmental, Mental Health, and Parenting Issues in Preterm Infants. Their conversation shines a spotlight on the often-overlooked intersection of prematurity, neurodevelopment, and family mental health.Dr. Givrad explains how the rapid brain growth that normally occurs late in pregnancy makes preterm infants especially vulnerable to stress, pain, separation, and environmental influences in the NICU. She and Dr. Shaw outline the higher risks for challenges in cognition, language, and motor development, while emphasizing opportunities for early interventions that can positively shape outcomes.The discussion then turns to “infant mental health” and the ways relationships in the early years set the stage for emotional regulation, social development, and resilience. Both guests highlight how parental trauma, PTSD, depression, and anxiety affect not only caregivers' well-being but also how they interact with and raise their children. Concepts such as vulnerable child syndrome, overprotection, and parental guilt are explored in depth.Ultimately, this episode underscores why supporting parental mental health is as essential as any medical treatment—because how parents experience and process the NICU journey profoundly shapes the lifelong health and development of their children.

Teague heads west to Phoenix for a conversation with Sam Fox—the visionary force behind Author & Edit Hospitality and Fox Restaurant Concepts. Known for building some of the most beloved restaurants across the country, Sam now brings his creative lens to hotels with The Global Ambassador, his first foray into hospitality that rethinks the food and beverage experience and avoids the pitfalls many hoteliers face. With more than 150 restaurant concepts to his name and a $353 million transaction with The Cheesecake Factory behind him, Sam has proven he knows how to scale without losing the magic. Having earned a Michelin Key less than two years in, he shares how creativity and consistency is shaping The Global Ambassador, why focusing on today is the key to unforgettable guest experiences, and the lessons he's carrying from restaurants into hotels. And of course—Teague asks the question we're all wondering: what's tougher to run, restaurants or hotels? Plus, stay tuned for an exclusive tour of The Global Ambassador in Phoenix, coming next Friday.
In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Kassam to explore the origins and evolution of Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA), from its early rationale in treating RTC arthropathy to the groundbreaking Grammont design. We discuss the core components of RSA, the critical role of center of rotation (COR), glenoid and humeral lateralization, and their impact on biomechanics. We also talk about surgical considerations like scapular notching prevention, baseplate positioning, inlay vs onlay humeral stems, and the significance of neck-shaft angles. Dr. Hafiz Kassam is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in shoulder reconstruction. He serves as HOI's medical director of shoulder reconstruction. Dr. Kassam has extensive experience in complex shoulder and elbow reconstruction and sports injuries. Dr. Kassam pursued his education and training at world-class institutions in three countries. After completing his undergraduate work and medical training in the United Kingdom, he completed his residency at the University of Toronto, which is one of the largest and most academically productive programs in North America. He then moved to the USA and completed his shoulder and elbow fellowship training at Yale University. He is an expert in minimally invasive techniques in shoulder and elbow joint replacement as well as advanced arthroscopy, traumatic reconstruction and non-operative treatments. He has performed more than 1,000 shoulder replacements and arthroscopic reconstructions in his career so far. Believing in evidence-based choices for his patients and improving outcomes in modern orthopedics, Dr. Kassam is a well-published clinician-scientist. He has authored numerous original scientific research studies, technique guides, and textbook chapters, presenting his work on both the national and international stages. He is the program chair for the Northern California Shoulder and Elbow Course and sits on the Editorial Board for the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Arthroplasty. Goal of episode: To develop a baseline knowledge of RSA design. In this episode, we provide answers to questions you may have on reserve shoulder arthroplasty, like: What was the original reason for RSA? What are the basic components of an RSA? What is the importance of COR with regard to RSA? What is glenoid lateralization, and of what importance is it? Does it matter where you get your lateralization from? Is inferior placement of the baseplate on the glenoid a good thing to do? And much more!

In this episode of Concepts and Conversations, Coach Bryan takes a step back in time and invites listeners into the mind of his teenage self. Rather than just telling a story from the outside looking in, he relives the moments as they happened — the excitement, the confusion, and the real-time thoughts that came with being 15–16 years old and navigating new feelings.From summer camps and long bus rides to unexpected encounters that stopped him in his tracks, Bryan revisits those years when every glance, conversation, and decision seemed bigger than life. What makes this episode stand out is how he shares not just what happened, but what he thought as it unfolded — the inner dialogue of a teenager wrestling with questions of love, loyalty, curiosity, and identity.As he reflects, Bryan shows how those unfiltered thoughts — raw, sometimes messy, sometimes hopeful — reveal the process of growing up. They weren't polished or perfect, but they were honest, and they shaped the man he would become.This episode is more than just a trip down memory lane; it's an exploration of how the thoughts we carry in real time often leave deeper marks than the events themselves. If you've ever looked back at your own teenage years and remembered not just what happened, but exactly how you thought in the moment, this conversation will strike a chord.
In this episode Ross Beveridge, co-founder of our Podcast, and guests discuss the topic of digital cities and democracy. Digitalisation is transforming cities, urbanization and urban life – but how is it changing urban politics? What issues of justice and democracy are at stake in the advance of digital technologies? What are the power implications of the unending rise of corporate digital platforms, like Amazon? How are social media platforms reconfiguring the ways we live in cities and the ways we conduct politics? And what does the future hold? Ross discusses these questions with 4 scholars who have recently published important books in this field: Myria Georgiou, who is a Professor of Media and Communications and Head of the Department of Media and Communications at LSE. She is the author of the book: Being Human in Digital Cities, published by Polity Press. Rob Kitchin, who is a professor in the Maynooth University Social Sciences Institute at Maynooth University. He is the author of Critical Data Studies: An A to Z Guide to Concepts and Methods, published by Polity Press. Yu-Shan Tseng, who is an Anniversary Research Fellow in Geography at the University of Southampton. She is the author of Liquid democracy: a comparative study of digital urban democracy, published by Wiley & Sons. Justus Uitermark, who is Professor of Urban Geography and the Academic Director of the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research at the University of Amsterdam. He is the author, with Petter Törnberg, of Seeing Like a Platform An Inquiry into the Condition of Digital Modernity, published by Routledge.

Today's Headlines: Utah Gov. Spencer Cox says accused shooter Tyler Robinson isn't cooperating, but the Washington Post found Discord messages where Robinson admitted to the shooting hours before his arrest. FBI Director Kash Patel revealed Robinson had also suggested his plans in texts and a now-destroyed note. Investigators describe him as politically radicalized against Kirk, though he has no criminal record and was still in trade school. Meanwhile, VP JD Vance guest-hosted The Charlie Kirk Show from his White House office, joined by Tucker Carlson, Stephen Miller, and others.

Saving Elephants | Millennials defending & expressing conservative values
Is Trump correct that Canada is destined to be America's 51st state? Or is there simply too much distinction between Canada and the United States to collapse us both into one homogenous mess? If conservatives in the U.S. are trying to conserve the American revolution, what are Canadian conservatives hoping to conserve? How might these two liberty-loving nations help each other better understand each other through comparison? Joining Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is Shawn Whatley to make sense of it all. About Shawn Whatley Shawn Whatley hosts Concepts with Shawn Whatley, a weekly podcast focusing on political ideas, culture, and news.

A Candid Conversation About the Dreams We Put on Hold In this role-reversal episode of the Rich Mind Podcast, Greg takes the host's seat and poses a powerful question to Randy: "If you knew you couldn't fail and wouldn't be judged, what's the one thing you would do today?" This thought experiment leads to a candid exploration of Randy's lifelong passion for classic cars and racing. The conversation is a transparent look at how our deepest passions, often formed in childhood, can get buried under the responsibilities and limiting beliefs of adult life. Listeners will learn the importance of identifying their true desires, the power of taking small, tangible steps towards a dream, and why facing the fear of regret is often a more powerful motivator than the fear of failure. Key Takeaways: The question "What would you do if you couldn't fail?" is a powerful tool to bypass your inner critic and identify your true passions. Your childhood dreams and passions often hold the key to what would bring you the most fulfillment in your adult life. You don't have to quit your life to pursue a passion; you can start by "dipping your toe in the water" through local clubs, volunteer opportunities, or conversations. Your existing relationships and network (a friend from a car club, a daughter's boyfriend who races) are often the doorways to your next opportunity. Limiting beliefs, such as "I need to do things on my own" or "My spouse wouldn't enjoy it," can prevent you from taking the first step. Setting an intention is a powerful first step that signals to your mind to start looking for opportunities and connections related to your goal. The fear of regret ("What if I never even try?") can be a more potent fuel for action than the fear of failure. Questions Answered in This Episode: What is the most powerful question to ask yourself to uncover your hidden passions? How do you turn a lifelong passion, like classic cars, into a tangible pursuit? What are the first small steps you can take to explore a new hobby or career path? How can you leverage your existing network to open doors to new opportunities? What common limiting beliefs stop us from pursuing our dreams? Why is it important to ask yourself if you will regret not doing something? How does setting a clear intention help you recognize opportunities you previously missed? How do you balance your personal passions with family responsibilities and commitments? Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge. Concepts: No-Failure Mindset, Fear of Failure, Fear of Regret, Passion Projects, Self-Doubt, Limiting Beliefs, Taking Action, Setting Intentions, Networking.

Joanne Donnelly is the CEO at the London Pensions Fund Authority, a role she has held since April of this year. She was previously Head of Pensions at the Local Government Association and prior to that worked in HM Treasury, the NHS and the UK Home Office. Our conversation takes us from the big picture, starting with international law, which was Joanne's original specialist area, to the local level, her current focus, and there were many fascinating stops in between. We hear about various roles in public agencies, and how this shaped her approach to governance and ultimately service. We hear about the paramount importance of communication early and often and how this forges the link with ultimate beneficiaries. Why we made this? Joanne is an emerging leader in the dynamic world of public pensions, which is particularly in focus in the UK today. Why we think you will like it? It is rare to find a leader who sets the standard in the challenging area of public pension funds. Joanne is one of these leaders, and we can learn a lot from her insights on governance, communication and transparency. With thanks to Baillie Gifford for sponsoring Series 4 of 2025.

In this episode of Hunger for Wholeness, Robert Nicastro sits down with philosopher and musician Don Viney to trace his journey from the arts to philosophy—and the unexpected conversion that led him to process thought. Together, they explore the creative tension between art and thought, and how beauty, music, and literature often touch places philosophical language cannot reach.Don shares formative moments from studying with Charles Hartshorne and his early fascination with Teilhard de Chardin—unpacking how Teilhard's evolutionary mysticism resonates with those seeking meaning in a fragmented world. Along the way, the conversation wrestles with non-toxic, life-giving concepts of God and what makes a metaphysical vision truly satisfying in a scientific age.Later in the episode, Viney reflects on Teilhard's radical hope, personhood at the heart of the cosmos, and the power of process thinking to awaken a fresh sense of spiritual responsibility.ABOUT DON VINEY“True love unites in such a way as to augment rather than to diminish the personalities of those caught in its Fire.”Donald Wayne Viney, Ph.D. received degrees in philosophy from Colorado State University (1977) and the University of Oklahoma (1979, 1982). He is a three-time recipient of the title “University Professor” at Pittsburg State University (Kansas) where he taught from 1984 until his retirement in 2022. He is the author of Charles Hartshorne and the Existence of God (1985), senior editor of Hartshorne's Creative Experiencing: A Philosophy of Freedom (2011), and co-author, with George W. Shields, of The Mind of Charles Hartshorne: A Critical Examination (2020). He has written extensively on the nineteenth century Breton philosopher, Jules Lequyer, and published two books of translations of Lequyer's writings. In addition, he is the author of dozens of scholarly articles and reviews on a variety of topics, including six articles on Teilhard de Chardin and an annotated translation of Marcel Brion's 1951 interview with Teilhard. He serves on the editorial boards of Process Studies and the American Journal of Theology and Philosophy. Viney is also a singer-songwriter.Whether you're enjoying Hunger for Wholeness or see ways we can improve, we'd genuinely value your feedback.

In this episode of 15 Minutes of Finance, James breaks down the three core factors of investing: risk, reward, and volatility, and how they shape every financial decision. Drawing on a classic Charlie Munger insight about buying wonderful companies at fair prices, James explains why disciplined investing doesn't have to be complicated. You'll also hear why everyday investors can manage their own portfolios if they commit to truly understanding what they own and why they own.
The Unseen Force That Controls 95% of Your Life This episode of the Rich Mind Podcast is a deep dive into one of the most powerful and invisible forces shaping our lives: our paradigms. Inspired by the teachings of the late Bob Proctor, Randy and his daughter Adrienne discuss how these deep-seated mental programs, or "software," installed in us since childhood, control our thoughts, feelings, and actions. They explore how our paradigms act as a filter, often creating self-imposed limitations and keeping us stuck. The conversation provides practical insights into how to become aware of your own paradigm, how to challenge the "black and white" thinking it creates, and why understanding this concept is the key to creating a life of your own design, rather than one dictated by old programming. Key Takeaways: A paradigm is like the software that runs your life; it's a collection of habits and beliefs programmed into your subconscious mind from a young age. Most of our struggles in finances, relationships, and health are not due to external factors, but are results generated by our internal paradigm. Society often teaches us in absolutes ("right vs. wrong," "good vs. bad"), which reinforces a rigid paradigm and makes it difficult to see the "gray" areas of life. Our triggers are often the paradigm's defense mechanism, activating past beliefs ("I'm not smart enough," "I'm not good enough") to keep us in our comfort zone. You can begin to change your paradigm by questioning your automatic thoughts and separating your identity from your feelings (e.g., saying "I am feeling frustrated" instead of "I am frustrated"). The phrase "What's meant for me will find me, and anything else is none of my business" is a powerful tool to release the need for external validation and stay focused on your own path. Consistent practices like journaling or recording voice memos are crucial tools for getting your subconscious thoughts out, observing them objectively, and identifying the patterns of your paradigm.

Unlock Your True Potential by Asking This One Question This episode of the Rich Mind Podcast poses a powerful question to kickstart your biggest goals: "If you knew you couldn't fail and wouldn't be judged, what's the one thing you would do today?" Randy and Greg use this thought experiment to dissect the self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and fear of judgment that paralyze us. The conversation evolves into a real-time coaching session where Greg shares his entrepreneurial dream of starting a coaching business and the internal resistance holding him back. Listeners will get a transparent look at how to identify limiting beliefs, the importance of taking small, initial steps to build momentum, and the power of aligning your actions with your authentic self to find true fulfillment. Key Takeaways: The question "What would you do if you couldn't fail?" is a powerful tool to bypass your inner critic and identify your true desires. Self-doubt and limiting beliefs (e.g., "Why would someone hire me?") are the primary obstacles preventing us from taking action, not a lack of resources or skill. You don't need to know every step of the journey to begin. The first step is to simply start and trust that the right people and resources will appear. To overcome the overwhelm of a big goal, break it down into the smallest possible action you can take today. The feeling of joy and fulfillment is a strong indicator that you are on the right path and aligned with your purpose. Leveraging your innate skills (like networking and listening) can provide a unique angle for a new venture you're passionate about. Sharing your goals with a trusted inner circle can provide clarity, encouragement, and the "kick in the butt" needed to get started.

How do you identify the specific limiting beliefs that are holding you back? What is the first, smallest step you can take to start building a new business or pursuing a dream? How do you know if a new career path is truly aligned with your purpose? Why is it so important to have a support system or coach when chasing a big goal?
